Takes

The Jaguars will play the game of their lives on Sunday because they hated Urban Meyer

I have a feeling that Jaguars are going to play the game of their life on Sunday because they hated [Urban Meyer's] guts so much... This feels like a 50 year storm of the Jaguars trying their absolute hardest for Darryl Bevell because now the bad guy's gone.

Trevor Lawrence will be labeled the fastest coach killer of all time

We might be looking at putting the fastest coach killer label of all time on Trevor Lawrence. I think that Trevor Lawrence killed Urban Meyer.

Urban Meyer will be back on Big Noon Kickoff within a year and win another college title in three years

Everyone should be ready for this urban Meyer sliding back into that desk on the Fox, big noon kickoff. I don't even know, might even be as early as this year if they have a bowl game. Pre-show but that will happen. And in like three years, he'll be linked to some big time job. Probably go take it, win a national title, and this will all be like, oh, remember when urban Meyer coach the Jaguars for 15 games.

The Buccaneers will beat the Saints by 100 on Sunday Night Football

The saints have owned Tom Brady, but the saints have taste them hill. Now I don't, I really am not like excited for this game... Tom Brady feels like he's going to break another record. And the bucks are to win by a hundred. My favorite is the Buccaneers minus 10 and a half.

The Cardinals will take out all their anger from last week and blow out the Lions

I'm going to take Arizona Cardinals minus 13 at Detroit get right game. I just don't. I know Deandre Hopkins out for the rest of the season. I just don't know how the lions secondary can hold up on Kyler. I feel like this will be like the Cardinals will take out all their anger from last week to this week.

Josh Allen is the quarterback who gets bailed out least by the referees in the entire league

Number one quarterback in the entire league [for coverage penalties bailing them out]... It's Aaron Rodgers by a long shot. Last place in the entire league... Josh Allen. It's Josh Allen gets fucked more than any other quarterback in the NFL.

Travis Hunter will not be the only five-star recruit to join an HBCU

I liked it as well stated. And I don't think he's [Travis Hunter] going to be by himself. I'm just telling you that he's not going to be alone. I promise you. He is not going to be alone. You're going to hear about that real soon.

Jackson State is unstoppable and will cover -10.5 in the Celebration Bowl

They're sweeping. They swept through the flack. They're fucking unstoppable... My game of the year... officially my HBCU game of the year Jackson state minus 10 and a half Saturday afternoon.

Kyler Murray's height causes some of his interceptions

Kyler Murray does have interceptions where he's too short... it's not even that he couldn't see over Leonard Floyd. It's like, he didn't understand that Leonard Floyd could easily jump up and catch that because Leonard Floyd's that much taller.

Home field advantage doesn't matter as much as volume when it comes to stadium noise

I actually think that the fact that we could hear that guy yelling so loudly, that ties into their [Arizona Cardinals] home field advantage problem, because everybody should be yelling as loud as that guy... We shouldn't be able to pick out that one dude yelling, you need to have louder fans at home.

Kyler Murray's height helps him duck under sacks

He's able to duck under sacks more easily because he's five, ten or five nine or whatever... sometimes its height works to his advantage in a weird way.

Blatant holds against Aaron Donald should count as sacks

Blatant holds should count as sacks for the defensive lineman... the guy had to wrestle Aaron Donald to the ground. That was the only way that he wasn't going to give up a sack.

Matthew Stafford is a Hall of Famer

That was the Hall of Fame, Matt Stafford that I hope gets there. So I can pull up a tweet from five years ago saying you were going to be in this.

Refs shouldn't call pass interference on fade routes

You shouldn't even get pass interference calls on fades because it's such a dumb play call.

The AFC North will be decided by flexed prime time games in Week 18

On week 18 they're flexing two games Saturday night with playoff implications... I think they'll do one AFC North prime time game Saturday, one Sunday, if I had to guess... the AFC North is going to be the division that, yeah. It all it's going to be decided.

The ACC is a bad basketball conference this year

My hot seat is the ACC... they're the only team [Duke] that's even decent in the ACC... they've lost six buy games.

Robert Kraft's investment in a Call of Duty team is a genius move

Robert Kraft bought a Call of Duty team... everyone says that buying these roster spots is a waste of money... I would have agreed with them until Robert Kraft bought the top spot. Now genius investment.

Steph Curry is going to break the all-time three-point record tonight at Madison Square Garden

Steph Curry is going to, by the time you're listening to this, Steph Curry has already broken the record... I'm actually going to go to the game. I'm excited for it.

U.S. politicians should settle disputes in MMA matches

Two politicians down in Brazil... had a three round MMA fight, which was sick... I really wish I kinda wish that would happen more in the United States and other places.

NCAA Football is the greatest video game ever made

That college football game was the greatest game in the history of video games... maybe Tecmo Super Bowl [is close]... but it's up there.

You don't truly understand that the NFL is a business until you are cut

Until it kicks you in the butt, you don't really understand it... until you're cut... in the NFL they can just say, Hey, thanks. It's been fun. It's been real. See it and not pay another dime. And until you have that happen to you... I don't know that it truly sinks in that this is a business.

Nick Saban's coaching success is built on preparation and accountability rather than flexibility

He will adjust and he will recognize what he needs to do week to week. But there's a foundation that exists... It is all preparation... a hundred percent accountability. He expects accountability and he shows accountability. And there are plenty of times when he stood up [to the media] and says, no, that's on me. I didn't get them prepared well enough.

Bobby Petrino was completely ill-equipped to be an NFL coach

[Bobby Petrino] was unprepared to be an NFL coach. I mean, that's the thing... we had a team of vets... and to have the audacity to challenge what it is that I'm trying to say [by adding more plays]... that's not how you operate. And then to literally drop... a note on your locker and say peace I'm out of here... he was unprepared.

I could have been the Chiefs' quarterback until Patrick Mahomes took over

If I had fallen past Detroit, then [the Chiefs] were going to take me... I could have been Chief until Patrick Mahomes took over.

Dropping the 'y' from his name would have helped Joey Harrington's professional career

Do you think the fact that you went by Joey as a professional, as a grown man hurt you at all?... Joey Harrington is a great college football name. I think when you get drafted, you dropped the why and you go as Joe Harrington.

Success as an NFL quarterback is mostly about confidence rather than physical skill

Every quarterback in the league has the skills to be there... the difference is being confident in yourself... Hesitation, lack of confidence, doubt is the killer of all young quarterbacks. That's all it is.

Tua Tagovailoa will be successful if the Dolphins support him and stop trying to replace him

They need to make sure they're supporting Tua because he's shown that he can do it... Make sure you support that guy, and he could be [successful].

Steve Kornacki's 'phantom scroll' is a blank prop with nothing written on it

I'm a Kornacki scroll truther. I don't think that he actually has anything written on that piece of paper. [It's] probably a prop.

The Ravens are the most injured team of 2021

With Marlon Humphrey getting hurt last week and Lamar Jackson getting hurt this week... You officially are the champions of most injured team of 2021. Like I said, you probably already had that crown, but this was like, this was the final piece of having Lamar Jackson getting hurt.

Teams down nine points should go for two early to gain strategic clarity

Harbaugh gave us a new little wrinkle to think about... if you're down nine, you go for two, because you're going to have to go for two anyways, to win. You're going to want to know exactly when you need to get that two points.

Every team in the AFC North is actually just very average

I think all the teams in the [AFC North] when they play their best games are very good, but they usually don't play their best. They're just very average teams. I think, man, this really makes me wish that the Steelers weren't on Thursday night.

The AFC North title will be decided by a flexed Sunday Night Football game in Week 18

It feels like the AFC north will probably have that game [Sunday night football week 18] for the division, which will be fun. Like that will be fun. I think the, I think the Browns play the Bengals. Maybe it'd be that.

The Browns are the most trustworthy team in the AFC North

I think it's the brown thing cause their defense... and because they can run the ball, they didn't run. They chose not to run the ball today, but they can, we know that they can run the ball they're built for December.

Chase Claypool shouldn't be blamed for the Steelers' loss because the officials missed a penalty on the Vikings

It wasn't [Chase Claypool's] fault that they lost the game... it should have been a penalty penalty. They never [called them] for knocking the ball out of his hand. [Big Cat]: He was an idiot and he costs them that game... [Billy]: It also should have been a penalty. Just, just looking at the tape.

Bringing custom heated benches to an away stadium is a smart move, and critics are just 'broke boys'

If you get to pick where your team can sit, keep them away from all the sewage pipes [at FedEx Field]. That's number one... It sounds like a bunch of broke boys who don't own benches that are complaining about it.

The Cowboys are back to being legitimate contenders because of their defense

The Cowboys like that, I walked away from that game, thinking the Cowboys are back to being for real, for real, because that defense won that game. Not the offense with all the weapons that we all talk about.

Washington will make the playoffs if they win their games against the Eagles and Giants

I'm still I'm bullish on the offs for the, for the Washington football team. We're still in the office right now... if we win our games against the Eagles, and then when it gets to the game... and then win against the giants and still lose the Cowboys, I think chances are still pretty good that we're going to be that [seventh] site.

Derek Carr is not at fault for the Raiders' struggles given their historically bad defense

Since Derek Carr became the starter of the Raiders, they have given up 26.6 points per game. That's first in the NFL. They've also had 319 defensive penalties resulting in first downs. That's also first in the NFL. So essentially free Derek Carr free Derek, Derek Carr. He is not that bad. He just has played with a historically terrible defense.

Urban Meyer will leave the Jaguars due to a medically dubious reason

I think he'll probably, well, this is like fake, maybe a health issue... He's going to get [COVID] hanging out in those college bars. [PFT]: I don't think that he [quits]. He doesn't quit jobs. He just, he has medically dubious reasons for leaving them.

Matt Rhule is in over his head as head coach of the Panthers

I am starting to think that maybe Matt rules a little bit in over his head because he did the sacrificial lamb fired his OC, Joe Brady... He then does the switching back and forth for the quarterbacks today. Which made no sense... He was basically running a college, like all offense where it's like, yeah, we'll do this change of pace. Quarterback really fuck them up. No bolt. Those guys stink.

Bill Belichick deserved Coach of the Year in 2020 for winning seven games with that roster

It actually demonstrates you what a great job Bill Belichick did last year [2020] that he went coach of the year, last year... [Big Cat]: No. [PFT]: Wow. That's disrespectful.

The NFL needs to change the rule that prevents teams from advancing a recovered onside kick

You should be allowed to advance an onside kick. I know that's happened to me against me in college football... That's a bad rule. The only purpose for that rule is it makes the game less fun. Yeah. What the fuck are we doing here? You gotta be able to advance that.

Joe Burrow is an elite franchise quarterback with rare 'moxie' and 'fearlessness'

Joe Burrow being down 14 points with 10 minutes left and bringing the team back... That's Joe Burrow. Like Joe Burrow going forward in the future. He's your franchise quarterback. And he's also, he has that ability where you feel like you're never out of a game and there's not like there's only a handful of quarterbacks that can give you that feeling. He is one of those guys.

The Bills are built solely to win a Super Bowl in a warm environment like Los Angeles

I feel like this Bill's team, they're not built for the city of Buffalo in a weird way, because they can't run the ball... they built this team just to win the super bowl in Los Angeles this year. They're like, if we can just, as long as we get to the super bowl, we can win that game with our [offense]. I actually, I actually think in a weird way there, right? Yeah. I think, I guess if the bills make it to the super bowl, I think they win the super bowl.

The Super Bowl will likely be a rematch between the Buccaneers and the Chiefs

Wouldn't it be funny after this entire year that like has chaos and everyone? No, one's good. It's just going to be Buck's chiefs again. Probably like it could, it could very well be bucks chiefs again.

No team in the AFC other than the Chiefs can beat the Patriots in the playoffs

Mack Jones is a rookie, so it wouldn't blow my mind if the chiefs beat the Patriots in the playoffs. But I don't think any other team is.

Brian Kelly's tenure at LSU will probably blow up due to the bad culture fit

I'm super excited for Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge because it's such a bad culture fit, obviously. So it's going to probably blow up. Now. He can either win really quickly and he should, because if he doesn't, it's going to get bad and it's going to get bad really fast. And it can be very funny to watch like Brian Kelly pretending to be a southerner.

Every NFL team that successfully recovered an onside kick in Week 14 ended up losing their game

Every team that kicked an onside kick and recovered it lost this weekend. Bears, Ravens, and someone else did it [Lions].

Ben Roethlisberger won the game against the Vikings even though the Steelers lost

That was vintage Big Ben in the second half to bring them back. He made the perfect throw to Pat Freiermuth. I say Big Ben won this game. He won this game.

Ben Roethlisberger has at least three more seasons left in him

I don't think that this Big Ben that we saw in the second half is even a year away from... Nope. That was fake news. Big Ben's got minimum three more seasons left.
